Misc. Pool 4 stuff (newbie question?)

We spent most of the day on the river today… Much better luck this time than last. But I noticed a couple of things that I wondered about:

1) Why do the barges have generators on the indvidual barges?

2) Does traffic go ‘through’ the gates? I dont think I would, but they look wide open.

Just curious,

Thanks,

John

After further review, I should have put this in the general discussion forum! Sorry.

I don’t know about the generators but the traffic goes through on the lock side, not the roller gate side. The rollers are probably still up all the way to let alot of water come down through the dam. You have to stay 300 ft. away from the roller gates at the dam in March and April and 150 ft. away the rest of the year. Hope this helps. Welcome aboard. Bill
